Hopefully they should be better in terms of a/v quality as well. Anyone?

Some R4 DVDs are substantially cheaper and of equal or better quality than R1s.

Well, to me it seems R4 DVDs are cheaper.

I purchased Conan the Barbarian SE and Crimson Tide SE for $35 shipped from down under, whereas the R1 versions would have been about $45 before shipping (Just picked a random retailer I have dealt with in the past).

Conan's only R4 benefit was a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack VS R1. But, Crimson Tide is a whole different story, R1 was just the movie, and was not anamorphic, while R4 was anamorphic, and included deleted scenes and some making of documentaries.

So far, I have bought about 4 R4 disks, and they have all been cheaper and superior to their R1 counterparts.

A good site for info on various DVDs from R1, R2, and R4 is http://www.dvdcompare.org.uk
